Kevin Feige Discusses How Deadpool Could Fit Into an ‘Avengers’ Film
While the release of Deadpool & Wolverine is still three days away, Marvel fans are already starting to consider how the titular superheroes will fit into the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The upcoming Deadpool film will not only introduce Ryan Reynolds’s Merc with the Mouth and Hugh Jackman’s iconic X-Man to the MCU, but it will also seemingly kick off the events that lead up to Avengers: Secret Wars.

The next time the Avengers assemble, however, will be for Avengers 5. With Marvel reportedly set to include 60 returning characters in the film, it seems likely Deadpool and Wolverine will pop up again.
Kevin Feige Talks Deadpool and the Avengers
The question facing Kevin Feige and his team, then, is how the distinctly R-rated Deadpool will fit into the PG-13 world of the Avengers? In a recent interview with ComicBook, Feige admitted that he had considered the issue.

“Well, I mean, yes,” Feige replied when asked if he’s thought about how Marvel Studios would go about fitting Deadpool into a PG-13 setting. “And what’s fun obviously about the comics is anybody pops up anywhere. But also what’s fun about the team-ups and a Marvel team-up is it’s almost always characters that don’t belong together.”
In imagining Deadpool’s integration into the Avengers, Feige was reminded of the first time that the iconic team assembled.

“I remember sitting in interviews like this when we were, I think, promoting ‘Iron Man 2,’ and people knew that we had ‘Thor’ in production and we had announced that we were going to make an Avengers movie, and people were going, ‘How in the world is Thor, this Norse mythological god, going to be able to be in a scene with Tony Stark? How’s that going to work?’ And my answer was, ‘Well, that’s kind of the movie.’ That’s kind of the whole idea, is to take these people that shouldn’t be together and put ’em together.”

With Deadpool & Wolverine looking like another Marvel blockbuster, the studio would like to keep both characters involved in the MCU going forward. Luckily, it sounds like Feige and his team already have a plan.
